Hahaha now code-golf it. One line FTW!

You’re not supposed to say the quiet part out loud.

All these fancy plans and Microsoft still can’t figure out how to merge Windows Control Panel and Settings into one 🙄.

I’ve thought about that before. 😂

In all honesty, $TSLA made a lot of people rich 3 to 4 years ago. I’m not the only one.

I honestly don’t care which companies do it, but I’ve always been interested in green investing. When so many governments are pouring money into energy transition, there’s bound to be profit to be made.

I sunk about 70k into $TSLA in 2020. Sold the brokerage shares to pay off my mortgage and buy a Model X for my family. The stock also grew my kids’ UTMA accounts to pay for about half of college, or perhaps large down payment on their future home.

There were a lot Tesla of haters back in 2020. There are probably more now. But whatever your opinion may be, that company has changed the world for the better. Accelerated the transition to electric transport: just like they said they’d do. I’m excited for the second generation to succeed: Rivian, BYD, and other companies who’re serious about it.

Best financial move I ever made? Latch on to a company that has purpose and a great product, then cash out for the things that matter. I just wish I’d had capital back when Apple launched the iPhone!

(P.S. to all the haters who’re gonna come at me with downvotes: I have more dollars than the number of downvotes you’ll ever be able to dish out! So come at me brah.)

I feel you, Pakistan. Same here in the US. The yeeeeejadists are itchin for a fight.

Ah! This is the best explanation I’ve heard. Thank you!

This is an interesting nuance to me. I guess I assumed the delivery employees are agents of the delivery company, and therefore if the employees refuse to deliver an item it is the same thing as the delivery company refusing to deliver the item.

Where do you think the legal boundary would be? Could the delivery company refuse to deliver an item for any reason? What if the delivery employee doesn’t like the religion, type of business, etc, of the package’s destination?

Sure, I get the idea of union camaraderie and deep cultural integration. But, that doesn’t really answer the question…

Can a delivery company refuse to deliver mail to any person or company due to personal beliefs?

When the mail originates from the Swedish government, sent to a company, is the delivery company allowed to block delivery?

If you remove Tesla from the story, and generalize the question, I still wonder how this can be legal?

Putting the whole Tesla issue aside, can someone explain to me - a casual oberver - how it’s legal for a delivery company to Sweden to refuse to deliver to a particular customer?

In a hypothetical example, let’s say they don’t like a particular shoe store. Can they just stop delivering mail to the shoe store?

I’m not seeing how this could be legally reasonable, once it’s generalized to pertain to any given business. Could someone explain?

I suppose this would be especially relevant if the mail comes from a government agency? I assume the Swedish Transport Agency is a government agency. I guess it would seem reasonable if only private parties were involved… but why should a private transport company be allowed to prevent delivery of mail sent by the Swedish government? (Again, pardon me if I misunderstand the situation.)

I value a distro that “Just Works”^TM and I can affirm that Linux Mint is it! Been using it for 5 years and would never go back.
